Posts are blog content listed in reverse chronological order (newest content on top). You will see posts listed on your blog page. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to their reverse chronological order, your posts are meant to be timely. Older posts are archived based on month and year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the posts get older, the user has to dig deeper to find them. You have the option to organize your posts based on\u00a0categories and tags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add New Blog Post<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are two easy methods to add a new page. From your admin dashboard, you can select\u00a0Blog Posts > Add New<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also select the\u00a0All Posts<\/strong>\u00a0menu option above and be taken into a list of all of your created pages. From this page, you can select the\u00a0Add New<\/strong>\u00a0button at the top left. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you have selected to add a new post, you are taken to the\u00a0Add Post<\/strong>\u00a0screen. To create your new page without hesitation, enter the title of the page where it says\u00a0Add Title<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To write and create your blog posts is different than building a page. Blog posts are NOT created using the BYB Page Builder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As blogs are meant to be more focused on text, there is a streamlined method of creating your text using the Block Builder<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To add text, you will see under the title a section that says “Start writing or type \/ to choose a block”<\/strong>. Click your mouse into that section and start typing away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you hit Enter<\/strong> on your keyboard, it will create a new block that you can continue writing into. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By default the block is a Paragraph<\/strong> block. To select a different block, click on the plus sign (+) to the left of the block or at the top of the page. You will find tons of different blocks for you to choose from for advanced functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may also notice that when you are working in a Block<\/strong>, the menu to the right of the page switches tabs from Document <\/strong>to Block. <\/strong>It is here where you will find advanced settings for your individual blocks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you are ready to publish your page, select\u00a0Publish<\/strong>\u00a0at the top right of the screen. Confirm by selecting the\u00a0Publish<\/strong>\u00a0button again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advanced Post Settings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On the right of the\u00a0Add New<\/strong>\u00a0page is a vertical menu with advanced options for your page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first menu is\u00a0Status & Visibility<\/strong>. This section gives you information on if your page is visible to the public, private, or password protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The second menu is called Permalink<\/strong>. The permalink is the slug, or URL, of this individual page. You can change the slug name in this settings box.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By default, the slug takes the name of your page title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next two sections are Featured Image<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Discussion<\/strong>. Click into the Featured image box to add the image that you would like to appear at the top of your post (once it is published) and in the archive\/list of posts on the Blog page. The discussion settings are to allow or disallow comments on a post. We have a layer of protection to prevent spam comments but cannot guarantee that there will be no spam comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We recommend that you NOT<\/strong> select Allow Pingbacks & Trackbacks<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Post Settings<\/strong>\u00a0may be the most important settings to configure for your pages. When you set-up global settings in the\u00a0Customizer<\/strong>, selections were made for Container size and Sidebar (these have previously been set-up with your template site). If you select a setting different from\u00a0Customizer Setting<\/strong>, this setting will take priority on this page ONLY.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the\u00a0Components\u00a0<\/strong>area, you can disable, or hide, the header, title, and footer. The Header is where your logo and navigation resides. The Footer is where the copyright information is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All Posts Screen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

On the All Posts screen, you can see a list of all of your posts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From this page, you can hover over the individual ppsts that you have created and multiple options will appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Edit<\/strong>\u00a0option will take you to the original page you saw when you went to\u00a0Add Post<\/strong>. From here, you can quickly edit the\u00a0Advanced Post Settings<\/strong>\u00a0and change the\u00a0title<\/strong>\u00a0of your post<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Quick Edit<\/strong>\u00a0buttons pull up a new settings menu on the\u00a0All Posts<\/strong>\u00a0page for the selected post. Here you can change the Title and Slug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Trash<\/strong>\u00a0button will delete your post by sending it to the Trash. Your post is still available in the trash and can be taken out of the trash until you permanently delete it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0View<\/strong>\u00a0button will open up the post that you have selected so that you can see the completed post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\u00a0Clone\u00a0<\/strong>button will make a copy of the post that you have selected and label it as a\u00a0draft<\/strong>. The cloned post has to be published before it is available on the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Categories & Tags<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Categories and tags are the two primary ways to group blog posts on your website. In simple terms, categories\u00a0are general labels, while tags are more specific (describe your posts\u00a0in more detail). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Categories<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short, categories are the most general method of grouping content on a website. A category symbolizes a topic or a group of topics that are connected to one another in some way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes, a post can belong to\u00a0many categories at the same time. However, it\u2019s perhaps not the best idea to assign more than 2-3 categories to one post. The point here is to have your content neatly organized in a way that makes accessing it easier for the reader.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edit Categories<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To edit the categories on your website, go to Posts > Categories<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From this page, you will see a list of the current categories to the right and the Add New Category section on the left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every category should have:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. a name,<\/li>
  2. slug (the URL structure of the category page \u2026\u00a0something like a permalink<\/a>),<\/li>
  3. is it a parent category or not (if it belongs to another bigger category),<\/li>
  4. description.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Add a New Category by entering the above information in the Add New Category<\/strong> column. Once you select the Add New Category <\/strong>button, the category will be added to the list on the right side of the page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To add your blog post to a category, go to the Edit Post<\/strong> page for the individual post and look under Document<\/strong> tab on the right side. You will find a sub-section for Categories and you can select the categories for the individual post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tags<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tags are a great mechanism if you want to identify a piece of content by some specific keywords. Simply, pick a few words that describe a given post the best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The main difference between categories and tags is the way you use them. In a way, categories are meant to indicate the genre of the post, so to speak. Tags, on the other hand, go much more in-depth and indicate the individual things that the post talks about. Therefore, you can \u2013 or are even expected to \u2013 use multiple tags with a single blog post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Edit Tags<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Tags can be edited by going to Blog Posts > Tags<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Follow the instructions for Categories<\/strong> to add, edit, and select your tags.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
